How to explain Hausu? Sure, a bunch of high school friends get murdered in bizarre ways by a haunted house, but everything about it is so cheerful! There’s a fluffy kitty! A bear wearing a bow! Best friends Gorgeous and Fantasy who hold hands and skip and want to take baths together! (Okay, I ship them.) A lighthearted dance number! Even the violence is lighthearted and cartoonish–Melody laughs the whole time she’s being dismembered.

Obviously, I needed a bouncy, morbid song. And jetpack_monkey loves Celtic-infused folk/rock music. I’ve wanted to make a Final Destination franchise vid to a much punkier version of “The Irish Rover,” but Djazia Satour’s cover, with the people clapping and whooping in the background, fit Hausu much better. (It’s from a PC game called Jack the Ripper.)
